Only difference is that if it drops 10%, more investors can buy in without adding a huge percentage to their investment mix.

I didn't like Amazon being my second biggest holding dollar wise. Now i can add a little on dips without pumping a lot of dollars in it at once.

That's the value of the split.

I except a small run after the split and then a decent size drop. Big investors will sell a make a little profit.

Equal

So why split?

Price per share is more affordable to more investors and will result in more volume sold.

Just read this article and remembered this thread...
quote:

Stock splits are usually a sign of optimism,” said Mark Lehmann, chief executive officer of JMP Group. “Very few companies split their stock in anticipation of things going poorly. It’s an example of what’s reflected in the entire market.”
